How often are you meant to be reporting indoor plants? Do you always have to go a size up or can you trim back and use the same pot?

I do mine every 2-3 years or when they’re root bound.  
You do not have to size up, you can trim off 1/4-1/3 of the roots and repot in the same pot if you want to keep the plant at that size.
